Why Giuliani must be opposed

Possibly the biggest thing that worries me about Giuliani is that his passion for immigration, combined with his toughness and resolve and willingness to be combative, will make him the GOP presidential option most dangerous to immigration reform in the next decade.—Alex K., comment at VFR, August 8, 2007.

I’ve said before that Giuliani is a super-Bush, who would multiply and aggravate everything that has molested conservatives during the Bush years. But Alex’s observation brings this idea into a new focus for me. As I wrote at WorldNetDaily in September 2000, I had two decisive reasons for declining to vote for Bush in that election: the moral issue, namely his failure to take any meaningful stand against the Clintonite trashing of public and private morality in this country, and the national issue, namely his extragavant support for open immigration and the Hispanization of the U.S. Now it becomes clear that the same two factors apply to Giuliani. Giuliani, as I’ve shown, embodies in his own person the rejection of traditional morality and decency, a rejection that the GOP and much of the conservative movement would end up subscribing to if he became president, thus destroying social conservatism as a force in American politics; and Giuliani would be even more aggressive and bull-headed for open-borders than Bush. On the moral issue, and the national issue, Giuliani would be the greatest disaster ever.
